Dr Olumide R. Oyefeso and Afam Oyema are passionate about maternal and infant mortality in Africa. Afam, inspired by his father's dream to ensure Nigeria and Africa get quality healthcare access, co-founded GEANCO. Afam earned his bachelor's degree from Harvard University and his law degree from Stanford Law School. Yet, he turned down lucrative corporate law offers to help his father realize a long-held ambition. Dr Oyefeso, the founder of 4 Breath 4 Life, a specialist paediatrician, seeks to make childbirth safer for pregnant mothers. He is focused on reducing health inequalities and providing access to the underserved and disadvantaged. Dr Oyefeso, Afam, and our host, Isaac, explore the issue of child and maternal mortality in Africa and how they combat it through their organizations. Hosted on Acast.
